What does Quercia (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens bright with bergamot, lemon and petitgrain, while pink pepper adds a light bite. At the heart, geranium, cardamom and cedarwood give it a spicy, green, woody character. In the base, tonka bean absolute sweetens the scent, and patchouli and oakmoss absolute add an earthy depth.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer close behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most common settings. Most voters find it masculine and classic. Its profile is close to Acqua di Parma Colonia Quercia and Armaf Vitesse.
